Details
Deliberately built in a less fizzy, more delicate mode, this yellow gold Pet Nat is blend of Riesling & Gewürztraminer with both grapes giving an aromatic punch. Tangerine, orange rind, preserved lemon but also peach and lychee. Lots to get your head around. It's still an affable wine that you can't help but love for its gentle edges (except for a welcome late orange bitterness to keep things fresh). How can you resist the golden yellow apple charm?

If you've ever driven to the snowfields of Mt Buller in the Victorian High Country, you would have gone straight past the front gate of Delatite wines. Here, surrounded by steep mountains in the crisp air of Mansfield, lies one of the vineyard treasures of NE Victoria, where since the late 1960s, there has been a tradition of finely tuned aromatic white wines and gloriously spicy reds. But don't think this is an old-school producer. With 2nd generation Ritchie family member David at the helm, Delatite has evolved, with a switch to biodynamic farming, strictly wild fermentations and an embrace of natural and lo-fi wine styles driving the wines to new heights. In particular, Gewürztraminer and Riesling are sublime here, tapping into the more-than-fifty-year-old vines to produce extraordinary white wines of intensity rarely seen in Australia. But don't miss the interesting blends, sophisticated Chardonnay & proudly peppery Shiraz.

Pairing guide
How did we ever get by in the days before Pet Nat took over the sparkling wine scene? We can’t get enough of this charming bottle from Delatite, and it’s a wonderful choice for buffet-style dinner parties and barbecues, or anywhere else you’re likely to enjoy a wide range of foods and ingredients (glass in hand, of course!). It’s a natural pairing for crispy fried chicken and vegan alternatives, Indian street food favourites like samosas, chaat and pakoras, and will work well with fish ‘n’ chips, too. Teriyaki tuna, crispy noodle dishes, fish or mixed paella and seared seafood will also work a treat. Give it a try!
